[Q] How to run apps in smaller resolution? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi,
With HD screen and a bit weak GPU some games don't run as smooth as they could on Xperia S. Is it possible to reduce resolution on 800x480 (not the actual screen but game itself) so it would run better?
Of course it would not look sharp as it could but it would increase performance and maybe lower device heating and battery usage.
Thanks in advance!

if small apps work I wouldnt see why normal apps wouldnt but might be hard to do.

The dual-core processor seems to be too slow to run games smoothly.

My Xperia mini pro is 1 Ghz and only have 1 core processor,but it can play any HD game smoothly...so,obviously with our new 2012 device (2 core and 1.5 Ghz),we can play game smoothly

I don't know which game are you talking about but I can play any game with 0 lag. And as the above guy has said, even on my mini I could play any game quite smoothly.
BTW, wrong section.

No you cant change the resolution. And i dont see any problem playing any game with my Xperia S. Maybe you got too much apps running.

I am using SlimBean and when I play game called Vector it runs too slow OC helped a little bit but still way too slow.
Rather weird considering that Vector is 2D game (parkour).
I have plenty of RAM and other apps run smoothly. I don't play anything else.

So that's a problem related to the game, it migh not handle good the resources. But reduce the resolution could be great for decrease the battery usage.

I have played the same game on OpenSEMC, and it had the lag you're mentioning. I think it has something to do with the fact that the phone has to process two "ragdolls" (the protagonist and its chaser). When, by means of power ups, you manage to get rid of the chaser for a while, the game runs considerably faster.

So, conclution is that Vector has some not-so-good optimized CPU usage and its physics engine requires some serious power (I9300 runs this game perfectly).
Thank you for your answers folks, still though it is shame that it is not possible to lower resolution, even just for the sake of lower battery consumption and/or less heating.

Is it just me, or do games run badly on ICS?

I've owned Android devices prior the Nexus, and one thing that's always bothered me is that my Android could never run games as smoothly as the iPhone, while it has more power under the hood. I download Fruit Ninja and Scrambled on my Nexus and it seems to lag and stutters... are all games like this on the Nexus?
I would think it's because the game is not optimized for ICS yet. So you will get some lag and stuttering with those games.
What rom/kernel combo you running? On aokp & franco kernel, I play jelly defense, battle heart, scramble with friends, draw something, sprinkle, etc & have no lag...

Temple Run is lagging when you play it for a while, same with many other 3D games....
AOKP + franco r135 512mhz GPU and I have no lag in games. Little Empire, Dead Space, Modern Combat 3, Legendary Heroes, Zenonia 4. I run those and more all lag free and atleast 50-60 fps at all times.

384 is the stock clock =/= 2x gpu clock. Even then it only makes a 5-6 fps differnece in most circumstances. Could have better results in different apps but nenamark i saw a 5-6 fps difference.
Temple Run is stuttering in Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 stock
I really think it's just software optimizaitons that need to be done imo. I'm sure with time it'll get better. Cause I'm running Temple Run perfectly no lag/stutters.
I personally wouldn't play Fruit ninja as they were in news in hot water over passing on our details.
As for games on Galaxy Nexus, they run slower than SGS2 and I think that's simply the limitations of the graphics chip which is as old as the hills.
I use a GSM Galaxy Nexus, stock, no overclock, no frills, just rooted to use Titanium Backup, never had any lags in Fruit Ninja, runs fine... Temple Run, ocasionally will stutter, but it is rare and most of the time I just play 20, 30 times and no stutter at all... GTA III also plays fine.
Obviously it is not the best performer, and, as you probably now, there is the same iPhone 4 GPU under the hood of our devices, only that it got extra memory bandwidth and extra clock to perform better (and also a HD screen that will eat-up some of this extra performance)... But I believe, at least as far as my own experience goes, that it is a decent performer, altough there are better alternatives as far as gaming goes (and I would believe that probably HTC One X would be the best Android gaming phone alternative as far as graphic performance is concerned right now).

It doesn´t lag, bit it run like at 25fps or so, not as smooth as 60fps (I am refering when there are many coins in the screen and you are running too fast)
How are you quantifying that it runs at 25fps? Is there a fps counter somewhere?

nope, not for me. it runs even smoother than the version for the iphone .
maybe the gpu in the nexus is not the fastest one, maybe there are other phones that are much faster.... I DON'T CARE! i didn't bought my nexus to play games all day, i bought it to synchronize my calender, my notes, make calls and write sms and maybe some internet surfing.
you also all bought this phone, so why complain? it's like buying yourself a motorbike and then complaining about the fact that it only has 2 wheels.
Enabling Force GPU acceleration in the developer options under Settings might improve the performance of some games. Although it will might also make some games look weird.

HTC One V can run casual games like Angry Birds,Temple Run etc smoothly,but what about HD Games? I've just played Dead Space on my HTC One V.What about other games like Shadowgun,GTA III?

Shadowgun runs great on mine. The SOC is a good one for gaming. MC3 is oddly incompatible, probably an error on the part of Gameloft. I own GTA 3 but I haven't played it yet, when I give it a whirl I'll share my thoughts on its performance.

I am facing slight lag issues while playing Temple Run on my HTC One V. Sometimes the game will lag and when you die the end screen just displays the score on a black background and no replay or menu button (though if you touch in the area where replay button should be it will take input). Once you encounter this issue where the end screen starts displaying score on a black screen, it will reoccur every time until you restart the device (Killing running apps using Task Manager does not help)

Solution for some games
For gta iii you need to set the screen sleep timer to maximum (30 min in my case but I run costum rom) point is, when the game downloads the extra files it needs it's very important that the phone won't go into sleep mode. If it downloads only a part of the files it will, strangely, still run, but crash after a while
Hope that helps

Overclock your phone and it helps with frames. Especially when using oblndemand or Lionheart governer. I reccomend 1.2ghz - 1.5ghz. Just be sure not to overheat it might run a little warm you just have to know when too hot is bad.

BTW asphalt 6 runs gr8 on the one v but i suggest buying the sola for more heavy performance games
In the end, its up to you
Almost all game are smooth but when I was choosing this fone I loved the screen DPI. I have used sola as well to but overall I say this fone is gr8 in screen battery backup and also sound quality in which sola sucks and Samsung also. And sola comes with 2.3.7 one v comes with 4.0 ics .

Slow DSOID on 1.8 OC

Has anyone experienced slow DS emulation even with the 1.8 OC? I've been trying to run DSOID properly but my speed just sucks completely! I know its not the CPU since I get a 7000+ score on Quadrant, and its not the ROM. I'm using CleanROM which is stock. do you guys know what could be wrong with my setup?
What is you GPU clocked at? Also, you must remember that DSoid is still in development and you should only expect slowish speeds. Hopefully in the near future most games will be playable but not yet. Some games like Mario are very playable, so what game are you trying to play?

My GPU is clocked at 650 with fsync disabled and ondemand governor. I tried playing Pokemon Diamond and New Super Mario Bros, but both games where super slow.
The emulation engine is still a WIP. Until the dev for the app works out the best native emulation setup, most games will more than likely run that way. As the person above ,e said, the app is in very early stages. Stick with him and see how it evolves over time.

Did you check out the app reviews? Slow for everybody right now, dsoid is a work in progress.
Dsoid is still very slow, I don't think that DS emulation will ever be up to par on the tablet market. I also doubt that Dsoid will be on the market for very long because it very clearly encourages piracy on a console that is still quite popular.
The Play store seems fine with emulators as long as you don't steal code. It's much more likely that the author will give up before making it playable. Still, I am very excited to see what DSoid can be.

Need For Speed Most Wanted

I've played many high end Apps on my SGS2 for quite some time (IE:Shadow Gun, Modern Combat, etc) with no problem or lag whatsoever. But now a days it feels as if those same games feel rather laggy on my same phone. (Stock but rooted). I found Need For Speed Most Wanted to be rather fun but there are times where it lags very badly. Is this everyone? And if so.. How can I over clock but stay as stock as possible? A guide would be lovely. Thanks in advance

I have a few lag issues (unnoticeable). Maybe trying running an AOSP ROM like CM10 or AOKP? Also you could try the h0tcakez kernel, which also has GPU Overclock. Also trying using the CPU rendering = GPU rendering mod which helps to free up the CPU.
The adreno 220 chip in these phones is already past its prime guys. Be thankful the games even play half as well as they do.

I think its time we start a dedicated gaming thread. Here we can discuss new game releases and how the run on OGP. Also, any issues with certain games.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
Maybe you should've started?
Here, I'll go first.
Modern Combat 4 - runs great, no issues. Smooth framerate, looks great. (Note: Originally, I got MC4 free with my MOGA Pocket; that version crashed on startup. Bought from the Play store for 99 cents on sale)
CSR Racing - Looks great, has stuttering problems at the start of a race. Don't have the issue on my Note II, so could be a Snapdragon issue or 1080p issue.
Dungeon Hunter 4 - No issues. Runs smooth, decent graphics, but simple character models.
Asphalt 8 - Max gfx, no perf issues. Smooth and beautiful. Typically of Gameloft, the environment textures and reflections are low quality vs the iOS release.
EPOCH - Unity engine. Great framerate, smooth gameplay. Textures and models are a little simplistic so the GPU load is light. No issues.
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Re-release of Galaxy on Fire THD for all devices. Looks better than the Tegra version at max gfx setting, plays better too. No issues that I can find.
Dead trigger. Smooth on highest grafics. No issues.
Real Racing 3 highest grafics smooth no issues.
The Dark knight rises. Runs smooth on highest details. No issues.
Horn. Runs smooth on highest details. No issues.
Shadow Gun. Runs smooth on highest grafics. No issues.
Shadow Gun Deadzone. Runs smooth on highest details.
So that's my 2 cents in G Pro gaming. And yes I know I love high detail looking games. All of them are pretty sharp looking games with high details.

Real Racing 3 - plays very smooth no hiccups
Reaper: Tale of a pale swordsman - look very good, good long campaign, beautiful colors
Kingdom Rush Frontiers - Runs very smooth, very nice graphics, no stutters in mid of large battles (this game causes huge battery drain, initially CPU usage and CPU foreground time were same, maybe thy fix something in next update, I know games cause lot of battery drain but its very big to notice as compared to other games, just my 2 cents)
It's surprising to read that so many people can run games at 100% on this device. My experience with it is slightly disappointing. I've put in days running every ROM I can, testing performance per game with thermal throttling off and CPU running at maximum. In my experience:
Real Racing 3: Runs good while playing, but has some FPS stutter during race intros where the maximum amount of cars are shown on screen. Of course its terribly harsh on the eyes due to the resolution not running at a native 1920x1080. I found a workaround for this, but the game runs at a hardly playable framerate using the workaround. That's to be expected seeing as how the company was not expecting people to play the game at 1920x1080 on their android phones.
Blitz Brigade: Using optimal "not performance" graphics settings, some fps drops in outer areas of maps during online play, especially malta ruins.
Asphalt 8: Runs mostly smooth, but minor fps hiccups throughout. It can be especially noticeable in intros when the map name and map itself is panning. Paying close attention, those same hiccups happen during races, but it's hard to tell due to how fast the game is and the shaking camera. Turning CPU governer to performance (full speed) helps fix these tiny hiccups. They're not game breaking but they are there.
Crazy Taxi: Seems to run at a flat low FPS, not higher or lower. Not sure why. Feels like it runs at around 28fps the entire time.
Need for Speed Most Wanted: Fluid FPS inter-dispersed with game slowdowns.
Sine Mora: Had some bad FPS issues on release, but they've been mostly worked out in updates. There are still some FPS drops here and there.
The Room: Small FPS drops when spinning the camera at a high speed.
Modern Combat 4: Generally smooth but doesn't run at native resolution.
Most other games have run flawless for me, including: Asphalt 7, Dead Space, GTA 3 and GTA Vice City, Minecraft, Quake 14a, Quake 24a, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Shadowgun: Deadzone, Dungeon Hunter 4, and Trackmania.
Not sure if I'm just picky with my gaming, my phone has hardware problems, or I'm expecting to much from a mobile device.

GTA Vice City - Lots of fun and runs perfect at highest resolution and 100% draw distance.
Minecraft PE - doesn't require to run at full. But looks so nice on our OG Pros.
Shadowgun: Dead zone - multiplayer epicness and runs perfectly.
Star Command - bought this on Humble Bundle for a dollar. Its top down RPG style game and just a blast to play.
Zombie Gunship - have been waiting for this one to hit the Android market for almost 2 years. A bit of lag when zombies explode, but other then that is runs great and loads of fun.

I bought it on my Nexus S and it showed up as incompatible on my OGP, so I sideloaded an APK from a public site. Since I have a license for it, I'm not sure if the APK was cracked or not.
All games should work on the OGP. If it shows up as incompatible, there's an xposed mod that fixes the problem. Just install xposed and check the modules section.
